Beat me to it.
You fucking twunt. As punitive revenge I will expose your plans to assasinate the president (of Switzerland).

This is really amazing, potentially world-changing news.

Cured in this patient, that's the main thing people should focus on (if it indeed turns out to be a real breakthrough). The thing about HIV is once it enters a new host its genome mutates - which is the reason a vaccine against it is so difficult to manufacture. The question to ask here is whether or not these researchers have been able to program these cells to recognise the certain constants within the molecules genome that keep the virus such a threat or have they just programmed them to recognise this individuals strain of HIV, which of course requires further reading, but at this hour it'll have to wait until the morning.

This is by no means an out and out cure. But it's a huge step in the right direction - if of course, as I must stress again, the research is genuine.

Sounds like great news. And if it part of the treatment used can be replicated in other people to affect a cure in them as well it'll be even better.

Don't be naeve; Africa will continue to be afflicted with aids because she won't be able to afford a cure because she's still busy paying back her debt.

I'm still amazed that the Government won't endorse something that could help so many.

Somewhere this news is making someone even more against stem cell research believe it or not.

By stem cell transplant, they mean clean water and Sunshine.

Like Peter Griffin said, "Why aren't we funding this stuff?"

Politicians are the problem.

 

[shayd]

Awesome stuff. I'll have to read up on what they found.

 

[DJCowboy]

I thought the cure was to just inject with yourself millions of dollars?

Yes because they stil haven't figured out how to profit from this.

One million Galactic Credits to you if you make that happen.




........but we will never fall.........

how many potential Christian souls had to die for this heinous experiment?
